Generation Japanese, Chapter Three



Hello, and welcome back to the Around the World legacy, or, in Japanese, 世界中 (Sekaijū).

Last time, Iella got pregnant and will hopefully have ginger babies!

Just a little update on the spares, Isola and Topher had a son Wade, then broke up. They got back together, and had another son named Pedro. Isola is now the town bike, but I think she and Topher are still together anyway. Iato and Ricky are still dating, no signs of marrying yet.

Ginger babies! This baby better be ginger.

Meanwhile, it's Joy's birthday.
Joy: What, you don't love me because I'm not ginger?
I... didn't say that.

Joy's birthday was a complete disaster. The game slowed down to a crawl, and by the time she got to the cake everyone at the party had left already. Then Ella wouldn't take her to the cake. She'd get there and then put her on the ground. It ended with all the adults standing around her and staring at the toddler on the floor. Finally I cheated to age her up.

I love her. I love her eyes. I love her hair. I love her rhinestone glasses.

Joy is evil, insane, and unlucky.

Lucky didn't age up yet, so they played together a bit.

And then, during a tea party...

Lucky: I feel funny!
Joy: Oh look, juice!

Joy tells Lucky about all her evil plots.

Since she's insane, the family doesn't seem to find anything out of the ordinary with her talking to her imaginary friend.

And then autosave failed, and the game threw an error 12.
Joy: Wat.
I had to replay the past few days. Ugh.

Random photo of Immy working out.

I feel like Coke doesn't get a lot of screentime, but honestly, writing isn't that interesting. He spends all his time parked right here, in front of the pictures of him and his wives.

Ella: Hey Georgie, I've got some news for you. I'm pregnant.

Ella: Tell me you'll leave your wife and help me raise this baby... WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S THE SLAYER?!

So Ella called someone else instead.

What, what, what are you doing?
Ella: Waiting for my date.

Umm... Ell?

I thought she was a little young for you.
Vivi: I just turned YA, and besides, I told you I don't have any problem with this. I can make my own decisions. Also, FLOWERS! They smell like flowers! How could I say no?


Ella snags a first kiss.

Then she goes into labor.

It's a little boy! He's a grumpy virtuoso, and his name is Jin'ai, which means Benevolence in Japanese.

Infants are boring, and he's growing up the next day.

More photos of Coke writing. Hello Coke!

Jin is sharing a birthday with Indy.

Hopefully the cake won't glitch this time.

Holy Chimeree... Indy grows up... just as pretty as he was before. Wow. Okay.
Too bad he's not technically in the bloodline.

Indy stuck around for cake, then booked it out of there. It was hard to say goodbye, but I had to let him go.

FRECKLES! AND HE'S GINGER! JIN'AI IS A FRECKLY GINGER BABY!

And remember to remove baby before washing his shirt.

Vivi is the only guest at the party, since she and Ella never got to finish their date.

Um, guys, in front of the children? Really?

Vivi is never nude, and they made weird, never nude woohoo in the shower.

H reached level 5 of sports (her second career) so I had her switch to culinary. I'm not sure if she's got time to complete her LTW, however.

It's costume time!

Lucky: What are you wearing?
Joy: I'm a prince!
Lucky: I wish I could be a prince too.

Lucky: I want to be real!
Joy: It's okay, Lucky, Mom has a potion to make you real. She said you could have it as soon as I'm a teenager, because teen imaginary friends are creepy.

So Joy and Lucky played all day, with Joy in her new prince costume.

Joy: Ow.

Obligatory lol at pillow fights with imaginary friends.

Wait, Ella's pregnant again! This is certainly becoming a familiar situation.
Ella: Shurrup.
Just then I got a notification that Vivi was involved with Miranda Alto.

Now, before I leave you here, I have a poll up trying to decide who Ella should marry. It's on boolprop, or you can vote here. The poll ends in four days from posting here. Click here to vote.

Generation Japanese, Chapter Two



Hello, and welcome back to the Around the World legacy, or, in Japanese, 世界中 (Sekaijū).

Last time, Ella had a baby girl named Joy and the family moved to a new house!

Have I mentioned that I love this lighting mod?

I don't think I've shown you Indy's tattoos recently. So yeah, here they are.

Obligatory Generations squee! THEY HAVE CANES NOW!
Wait, what's that in the background.

Dorky wall hangings! Yay!

I let Ella take Joy to the park, hoping to find a good spouse there.

On their way, they also practiced townie-impaling toddler-acrobatics.

That's better. What are you pointing at, Joy?
Joy: GLITCH!

At this point, the game would freeze and/or crash, every time. 3:10 pm, Saturday afternoon. Finally I took out some CC and updated all my mods, and it started working. I loaded up a previous save and started Saturday again.

Ella: The old nursery followed us!
Uh, no, it's just the same paintings from the old house, I put them in your inventory, remember?

Joy: Ignore her, she's an idiot.

Joy: *is still cute, even in the new house*

Joy: I love you, Lucky! Some day I wanna marry you!
Careful what you say around here, little one!

Later... Toddler fail! So sad. :(

H has been cooking lately, trying to build skills. Also, I love the kitchen.

Sometimes Immy cooks too. I'm not really sure what to do with her now that she's reached her LTW.

Kiiiitchen.

Coke spends most of his days just wandering around, staring into space. It's kind of sad.

Oh hai, pretty lady.

Look who just moved in next-door! Quick, Ella, introduce yourself! I want his ginger babies in my legacy.
Ella: But-
FRECKLY GINGER BABIES

Ella: But that's his daughter in the background. He's a father of three.
That didn't stop you with Bran.

I don't know what's happening here.

I do know what's going on here.
Come on, you two!
Ella: I thought you wanted me to woohoo with him?
NOT IN YOUR PARENTS' ROOM!

Aww...

Wow, he's got some beautiful eyes!

This is the kiss that got Ella a "naughty" reputation. Like mother(s and father) like daughter.

Come on, guys, your mother is sleeping right there!

There we go... is that a lullaby I hear? A FRECKLY GINGER LULLABY?

Pretty people...

Ella: I feel... like vomiting.
Joy: Oh God, not on me!

With that taken care of... it's time to train this one!

Georgie: HUNGRY!
Then go home! Weirdo.

Georgie: Hungry.

Random shot of Indy, to remind you he still exists.

I bought Joy one of these things, for some grandparent bonding time.

It's the now familiar, I-just-got-Generations-aren't-toddlers-cute-now? montage.







Ella has discovered all the potions possible, and Coke's royalties are finally adding up, so she's inventing again, while she can.
Since her LTW is career related, I've decided to wait until after she's done having kids before getting her a job, so that she can go straight to work without waiting on the end of maternity leave.

Let's just hope she doesn't burn to death before then.

Oh, look who just sproinged! Another little one is on the way!

Next time, more babies!
